a very warm welcome to you from all of us here at. news from around the world the u.n. security council is holding an emergency meeting after north korea carried out a nuclear test in defiance of international sanctions russia was among those to condemn the move. in the midst of saying that it's all in response to quote outrageous u.s. hostility the details now from. so far strong words from foreign minister sergei lavrov concerning this test by north korea urging the u.n. security council to respond immediately however at the same time warning that caution needs to be taken and escalation needs to be prevented we do this that i would like to stress that north korea's nuclear test deserves condemnations we hold the move will not be used as a pretext to build up a military presence around the korean peninsula lost we believe that flexing
